experiences, training and views on the importance of
depositions. The survey is one page and can be
answered in 2-3 minutes.

either this site or Professor Binder, of the names of
lawyers who respond to the questionnaire . Similarly,
no record is being maintained regarding the firm with
which responding lawyers are connected.
